AI summary

Hathway Cable & Datacom reported consolidated revenue of ₹2,149.58 Crores for FY26, up 5.4% from ₹2,039.65 Crores in FY25. However, net profit declined 11.1% to ₹82.24 Crores from ₹92.54 Crores, with EPS falling to ₹0.46 from ₹0.52. Q4 standalone net profit was ₹12.23 Crores. The auditor issued unmodified opinions on both consolidated and standalone results. The company has three reportable segments: Broadband Business (profit ₹3.26 Crores), Cable Television Business (loss ₹42.13 Crores), and Dealing in Securities (profit ₹58.12 Crores). Significant items include exceptional items of ₹1.53 Crores for the year and a contingent liability of ₹3,201.93 Crores from Department of Telecommunications show cause notices for license fees, which the company is contesting.

Likely market impact

The profit decline despite revenue growth signals margin compression and operational challenges in the Cable TV segment. The large contingent liability poses potential risk if the DOT demand is upheld. However, clean audit opinions provide some comfort to investors.
